How it feels

A quick, responsive NES-era action platformer where you swing a buster sword through enemies with tight controls and retro challenge.

What players say

Players compare it to NES classics like Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania, but opinions split sharply. Some enjoy the challenge and short length, while others call the controls stiff and the hitboxes unfair. The game is very short, lasting about 30 minutes.
